A Chinese newspaper has furiously condemned Guns N' Roses over the title of their latest album - Chinese Democracy - claiming it is an attack on their nation. The Global Times, which is published by the country's ruling Communist party, ran an article under the headline "American band releases album venomously attacking China" and said it was part of a western plot to "grasp and control the world using democracy as a pawn". The long-awaited album had been in the pipeline since 1994 and was finally released on Sunday to mixed reviews. Though it is not thought to be legally on sale in China, Chinese Democracy is being streamed on the band's official MySpace site and can be bought online. China's notorious internet censors were said to be trying to block access to the band's official website earlier today.
